GorkMorks

GorkMorks is a fictional term that appears in certain fantasy settings, most notably within the Warhammer 40,000 universe. It is a fundamental concept related to the Orks, a race of green-skinned aliens known for their warlike nature and peculiar technology. The term "GorkMorks" refers to the two principal deities worshipped by the Orks: Gork, the Orky God of Battle, and Mork, the Orky God of Cunning. Orks believe that Gork is strong and brutal, while Mork is sneaky and cunning. However, they often have difficulty distinguishing between the two, with Gork being described as "brutal but cunning" and Mork as "cunning but brutal." This ambiguity is a characteristic aspect of Ork philosophy and culture.

The worship of Gork and Mork is central to Ork society, influencing their motivations, their warfare, and their technological development. Ork belief in their gods is so powerful that it actively shapes reality around them, a phenomenon known as the "Waaagh! Field." This means that Ork technology, which often appears ramshackle and illogical to outsiders, functions because the Orks *believe* it will. The more Orks that believe in Gork and Mork, the stronger their collective reality-warping abilities become. Their art, their war cries, and their very existence are intertwined with the dual worship of these potent, and somewhat contradictory, deities.
